These guys are just a bunch of bangalore dudes. They dont hype things up, they keep things simple and straightforward. Hope all businesses can incorporate some of this culture.
True man. They have that Bangalore/Kannada chill vibes to them.
But he ia not actually from Bamgalore. He is from South Canara. His father from place Udyavara near Udupi Karnataka.

One of the best interviews i have ever seen. Completed without even a single break. Nithin and Zerodha is an inspiration for many. The song at the end is lovely
Always proud of a South Bengaluru boy. Lovely interview format to peel the mystery of Zerodha and the A team behind it. I pass by the Zerodha office pretty much everyday on my walks and it's a pride for the locality. Have heard Kailash at an IIM seminar and wish many start ups create value from simple business models. I like Nithins objective of risk proofing almost every investor....after all stock markets or any other asset class should not become casinos but help people to achieve life goals in a steady manner....life anyway has many other surprises to throw, why create more
extremely well said.
Awesome interaction. Need more of Kamaths in the Indian business & start up landscape. Like their story & philosophical outlook towards markets, business & money. More power to you guys…
That's how established people should be, a perfect role model to inspire from in order to have content life
There is always a sense of calm around the Kamath Brothers. I have to tell that I was not expecting that kind of performance from Nithin. It was fabulous.
Great Boys who have thoroughly understood value n meaning of life
Wish you all the more credentials 👍
The way these three individuals sit so innocently in front of interviewer ,as if they were in a classroom, is quite endearing. Despite their impressive knowledge about everything in terms of market philosophy n life perspective , they remain remarkably humble, and Nikhil comes across as particularly soft-spoken .
One word for him “Detachment”. He has everything and still he is so grounded and prepare himself for the worst-case scenario.
The best thing I like about Zerodha is its user interface
Extremely proud of these hard working, high value creating Kamath boys. Also want to appreciate entire team of Zerodha as well.
Nithin with all shaved off head (showing solidarity with his wife who faced cancer), looked so sharp like a monk of the Rama Krishna Mission. His calm demeanor is so much needed by a stock trader.
20:35 WHAT A POINT !! NITHIN SIR
Wow Moneycontrol, what a perfect interaction it was ! Just fabulous and marvelous.
Also, I have never seen such down to earth personality in my life. The great Nitin Kamath !
Keep brining such beautiful interview. Thanks.
Thank you for taking this Interview Moneycontrol! Love the Zerodha Team! 😍😍😍🤩🤩👏👏👏
he said "I haven't done anything special in my life" (9:10) after building an exemplary company like Zerodha... down to earth people like him are so rare.. i admire him so much, such an inspiration...
I admire this man so much. Everytime I watch him, I get inspired. I wish I could just be part of Zerodha and be part of his extended family 🙂
Such a simple guy. Such a simple ethical business philosophy! Absolutely inspirational.
Nitin and zerodha folks are the most inspiring lot in today's capitalist society. People should definitely learn at least a few traits from them to be content in life and give back to the society. Thank you for this interview
A big inspiration and a slap on the face for many upcoming startups. So many startups take huge amounts of VC money and valuation thus inflating the company and reducing peofits. Most atartups never make profits but spend tons of money on fancy office spaces, parties, and loooking cool rather than making profit.
Zerodha is an outlier. I have been to their offices and everyone seems chilled out.
“Tumbida koda tulkodila”. This Kannada proverb suits this man and his team. Proud to say you belongs to my state.
Oh man!! Just listen to Nithin…how smart and honest he is in his statements! No shying away from the risk of change in rules/governance from SEBI..knowing that these statement could not go very well for the investor (which he is serving)
They are immensely wealthy, but they are lovely, nice, grounded people at the core too. They manage so very well to think beyond just themselves, which is extremely difficult to do when you achieve such astounding success and wealth. Kudos to these guys for being genuine, chilled and straightforward.
Great insights from Nithin, Nikhil and Kailash!!
BEING A MAHARASHTRIAN (INDIAN FIRST OF COURSE )....WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THE SOUTH FOLKS IS THE HUMILITY...INDIA NEEDS MORE OF YOU FOLKS...
Wonderfully made. Lots of love to Kamath brothers and their family. Thank you Money Control for this effort. A video, with an A team, by A team, felt good knowing something about the A company.
Oh so Bangalorean! Lovely.
Very nice and insightful interview. Down to earth guys with intent to create real wealth and make a change.
Something unique about the interior of his office which is not ‘glossy’ and ‘’off white’ like other general MNCs!
Good to see wood work…feels homely ❤
Extremely grounded personality...True heroes of indian startup ecosystem...
Such a casual and yet, impactful interview! Love these guys ...
Kailash Nadh is the genius behind Zerodha great success.
So greatful to money control for bringing this episode.🙏🙏☺️☺️
Truly Amazing!... The Ideal Start-up founder!
Need more of people like Nitin Kamath to help people manage their money wisely….
that was a nice interview, and Nikhil Kamath
is one of the best persons of India
Really inspired by their thought process and overall value system with which they have built their business!! Very rare to see in today's scenario.
Pure soul .. 🎉 honest, god fearing and people loving
I am proud of kamat brothers because I am also from shimoga ☺️😃
My hero, I'm planning to copy his hairstyle for this burning mumbai summer
A class apart person, the right role model in a world that’s growing to become more and more fond of pretentious nobody’s! Although he’s way bigger than Shark Tank but if Nithin would be the most ideal sharks for the next seasons.
Good...beautiful and lovely ending with songs...
One of the most valuable interviews... Thanx Zerodha & MoneyControl.. 🙏❤
Very Good. His winning Strategies may be shared
I will always remember this guy for “zerodha gambit” that he played against Vishy Anand.
That was his brother nikhil kamath
Woh kya parents honge jinhone aap logon jaise bachche paida kiye.Kyaa sanskaar,kyaa humilty ,unbelievable.Bharat ke achche din zaroor aa gaye❤
Great. Quite interesting interview. Came to know about the Nikhil and his colleagues - the company through which we are dealing.
Lennon pic on wall...they're sorted!😊
Cool calm and content brothers 👍
Most loved founder may be 🌞
So less of Dr. Kailash. Also bad set of questions- only common and old questions which have been done before. The walking format, environment, and Nithin as usual is fab.
Amazing interview! No glamour, truly grounded
Watching it for n'th time for Chandra R Srikanth
This is one of the best tech start up interviews
Kamath brothers are legend!!
Just wow at these guys..so damn Bengalurians:) simple and humble
Nithin was super cool to listen onto his opinions.
GREAT VOICE NITHIN SIR. VERY INSPIRING
nithin got heart for his song in the end
Simplicity at its best..
Awesome interaction.
Hearing and seeing him talking philosophy and spiritual stuff…looks like he is alone and self-discovery like on the verge of becoming monk…just my view… lots of respect for him Kailash
A lot to learn from this business -Zerodha.
#NNK-Zerodha!!
Awesome interaction and very fulfilling to watch and hear NNK talking about their philosophy about running an enterprise successfully.
Very grounded folks, especially Nithin what a thought process about raising your kid and giving back to society!!
Every interview he gives credit to Kailash says openly K filter. Need CEOs like him to make Companies deliver more
This is inspiring and insightful!
He is so simple, very open about what he has not done.. NN are superb
Really both brothers are so down to earth,incredible journey
Now I know for sure I chose the right person's company for investment.
Wonderful Zerodha Team
Admire their views on simplicity, crypto, spending, life and the song that he sang in the end was absolutely 🔥
Keep it moneycontrol we definately want to have similar content in future too.
Could anyone tell me what T-Shirt he is wearing, looks cool
That guitar looks like CF Martin 10Y18HD28E. Costing ~3.7L!! 😮
Some of best questions I have seen the host ask on a podcast. Loved your research and preparation, Chandra 😊
As for Nikhil, Nitin and Kailash, I was completely moved by their humility and general life principles, their perspectives being extremely insightful! BTW, the song by Nitin, both vocals and instrument, felt so enchanting 😃 I'm glad I watched this
WHAT A GEM OF A PERSON....MAY SUCH TRIBE GROW...
I love the way these guys think. I wasn't a fan. But I am now.
In awe of this guy ❤
Super
Great! 👍
Thanks for this Video, Moneycontrol.
All simple and real people… loved the song…
Very interesting conversation 🙂👍
All of theirs persona is quite magical and great aura.
Very inspiring and undoubtedly insightful
Great sharing of values in life
Kudos to you all with best wishes
Why so many ads? 🤔
Nice to see them at last
Hearing from long time from u tubers
Well done!
He gave a very good lesson - losing pragmatism in an attempt to grow.
Very insightful & inspiring❤
Their parents are from Udupi, Dakshin Kannada. Think that explains it all.
Great insight
i paid 200 for opening an account but couldnt open due to error in the portal to verify my details..so left 200 as lost in mkt to them :-)..how many paid 200 like this as a token to them
You can always call customer care. I have had the same problem when I had opened my moms account due to name mismatch on Aadhar card and PAN Card.
They resolved it very quickly. 😊 They are the best Broker. I love Zerodha!
@@dewanmuskaan I had raised a ticket and had call with their support team...they couldn't resolve so they told try after sometime...but didn't work after that as well...so continued with my existing broker.. 👍
